Car and Driver: Porsche Cayenne, Volkswagen Touareg Recalled for Loose Pedals

Porsche and Volkswagen are recalling 135,000 SUVs in the U.S. for gas and brake pedals that may loosen, the company said Thursday.

On 2011-2016 Cayenne and Touareg models, a retaining ring may detach from the pedal bracket assembly. Porsche said it found the problem during routine production inspections and that there were no reported injuries or crashes. Neither company said how many owners, if any, have complained about the problem. Dealers will reinstall the retaining rings as needed at a later date. A total of 88,300 Cayenne and 46,700 Touareg models are affected.
